“I want to thank Mayor de Blasio for making an historic $200 million commitment to enhancing the infrastructure and the availability of quality affordable housing in the Cromwell-Jerome Avenue area. This down payment on addressing the affordable housing crisis and the day-to-day infrastructure needs of the southwest Bronx is a critical step in the right direction and will make a real difference in the lives of countless families in my community.

Coupled with a strategy that includes advocating for stronger rent regulations and tenant protections, the Mayor’s announced commitment to the southwest Bronx is welcome news and I look forward to working closely with the administration to ensure that the community is fully engaged in the planning process.”
